FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemso^Extension Information Specialist
Frostbite isn’t as simple an
ailment as you might think. Frost
bite is an injury to tissues caused
by exposure to temperature below
freezing. The damage happens be
cause the blood vessels close down
either partially or totally, cutting
off nourishment to the tissues af
fected. This results in either part
ial or total death of the tissue. Se
vere frostbite cases become gan
grenous and you lose a finger, toe
or an ear.
The first sign of frostbite is a
greyish or whitish patch on the
skin, a sort of blanching. This is
usually numb, but not always.
Proper clotjiing will prevent
most frostbite. But clothing itself
cannot generate warmth. Clothing
keeps us warm by trapping body
heat and preventing It from escap
ing. It’s an insulator. You can take
advantage of this in two ways:
1) wear clothes that trap many
small pockets of air in the weave
or pile of the fabric and 2) wear
multiple layers of clothing so you’
ll get air spaces between layers.
Avoid . overdressing. Too much
clothing makes you sweat and wet
clothes conduct heat away from
the body. If you are sweating pro
fusely, loosen your clothing or re
move a damp inner garment
If you do get frostbite, here are
the basic first aid measures as
listed by Dr. A. Michaels for
Sports Afield readers:
1) Get out of the cold and into
warm Shelter.
2) Use body heat to warm the
part Never use external heat
warmer than body heat. If 1 the
frostbite is on your face, ears or
trunk, cover it with a warm, un
gloved hand. If your fingers are
frostbitten, place them inside your
shirt up against your body. If a
foot is frostbitten, remove your
shoe and sock and put the foot
against the body of another per
son. Never rub snow or ice on
frostbite. Never rub at all.
3) If the skin is broken, cover
the area with a sterile dressing.
Don’t use strong antiseptics.
)4 Take warm food and drink,
5) Get medical aid.

KEEP PLUGGING
Hubert Calloway, with The Sa
vannah Morning News writes:
“Keep plugging for irrigation.
About half enough equipment
saved the day for my three bro
thers who are still on the farm
in Tattnall county, Georgia. It was
enough to save their tobacco crop
and they made over three times as
much per acre as neighbors who
normally run nip and tuck with
them.”
County Agent Livingston of Dil
lon told me Joe Temple of Lake
View got $666.75 more per acre for
his irrigated tobacco. The • other
too was pretty good tobacco. But
the added’ pounds and quality made
up that difference in favor of
identical tobacco that was watered
3 times.
Clemson has averaged well over
a half bale of cotton increase
from irrigation for a number of
years. Properly used, irrigation,
where you have the water, is our
most powerful yield insurance. Do
all the other things needed, and
it can then help you nail down the
payoff.
“Keep plugging?” Yes. Results
from both experiment and farm ex
perience prods us onU
have. But these bring back a lot
of inspiration that’s passed on to
the others in their Clubs. While
there, the great city is theirs. And
it’s hard to tell which Is the most
delighted, they at being there or
the great city over having them
there. Tops in entertainment,
sight-seeing, and inspirational fea
tures are theirs for every minute
of the busy days and Into the
nights.
4-H has many rewards. And
surely one of the crowning ones
is a trip to the Congress in Chica
go. But the greatest asset is the
high type future citizen it is help
ing build.

FUTURE LEADERS
Of the National 4-H Club Con
gress that met for a week in
Chicago in early December, Ad*
ministrator C. M. Ferguson, of the
Extension Service wrote:
“I was able t,o attend only I day,
but during that time took pride
in agreeing with many of those
present that the country is safe
in the hands of future leaders
like these.**
There were 1,250 4-H boy and
girl delegates there from states
and Territories. We had about our
share, with 28 there from South
Carolina.
I attended that memorable af
fair twice back when I was county
agent. And now I can think of no
more inspiring and interesting ex
perience that could come to a boy
or girl than to win one of those
trips. That’s one thing money can’t
buy. These farm youngsters are
the only ones eligible to go. And
they earn it by the excellence of
their work in 4-H back there in
their community and their farm
home. And only 28 can go from the
fifty odd thousand members we
COTTON NOW
Last year there were 109,000
work-sheets covering farms In
South Carolina. Mr. Hamilton tells
me they included pratically all of
the farm land in the state.
Of these, 73,723 received cotton
acreage allotments. But 8,147 of
these didn’t, plant it. This left a
total of 64,576 with cotton planted
in 1954, and 44,403 without it
We had a total allotment of 929,-
000 acres of cotton in 1954. But we
only planted 826,000 acres, 1 or 88
percent of it. That left 103,000
acres of allotted cotton that we
did not plant
, This year our allotted acres is
774,000. This is 155,000 less than
we were allotted last year, and
52,000 acres less than we planted.
One thing that’s hurtin* is the
fact that we are not planting our
full allotted acres, according to
Mr. Hamilton. For planted acres
is the main figure used in making
future allotments. The West is
planting theirs, hut we are not So
their allotted acreage is holding dp
better than ours. And every new
allotted acre they get produces
about twice the cotton the saide
acre would have here. And that
just adds to cotton’s troubles twige

as it looks now.
Prosperity P. T. A.
Meets Monday
The Prosperity Parent Teacher
Association will meet on Monday
nighty January 17, 1955 in the high
school auditorium at 8:00 p.m.
Sgt. Billy E. Fallaw of the South
Carolina Highway Department will
speak on “Safety For Our Chil
dren.” , .
All members and friends are
urged to attend this most informa
tive meeting.
Pappy Ought To Have
Kept His Mouth Shut
Gaston Dominici, the 77-year-old
French farmer charged with the
murders of J Sir Jack and Lady
Drummond and their daughters,
shouted at his trial at Digne (Sou
them France) that he had been
accused of the triple murder to
shield someone in his fafblly.
It was the fourth day of bitter
family recrimination and the old
farmer’s grandson and one of his
daughters added more confusing
evidence to the mass of accusation
and counter-accusation.
While his grandson, 18-year-old
Roger Perrin, stood trembling in
the witness box, the “Lion of
Lurs” roared across the court
room: >
“Why does my son Clovis ac
cuse me if it is not to shield
someone in the family?”
Asked if he suspected other
members of the family, Dominici
replied “Yes.” But he refused, to
give any names.
He repeated the doubts he had
expressed earlier about his grand
son Roger, adding: “He is a crafty
boy.”
“Do you think he would be ca
pable of committing a triple mur
der?” interjected the judge.
Dominici muttered into his
heavy moustache.
Roger had just finished 90 min-,
utes in the witness box, contra
dicting himself repeatedly, ap
parently without embarrassment.
The youth, who was just 16
when the crime was committed,
listened unabashed when Judge
Bousquet punched holes in his
story.
Roger admitted telling a string
of lies to the police about the
murders. He said that his pretty
aunt Yvette had told him to do so.
The Advocate-General, Callixte
Rozan, shrugged his shoulders as
Roger was allowed to stand down.
“What can you do?” Rozan said.
“He lies like he breathes.”
Roger was followed to the stand
